Easy way to clean your Roomba wheels!

[@fjlaboratories]

Thank you for this! I was able to get both wheels out fairly easily with these instructions and was able to give them a nice wash and take out a bunch of jammed up hair!!!

[@richardsvacuumcenter]

Glad it helped!

[@noye00]

Very clear and staightforward video. I was able to clean my roomba after watching it. Thanks!

[@leonardomarchetti6003]

Thanks for the video. Very useful. I have Roomba e6 and the steps are the same. My wheels were harder to pull out, maybe because it was the first time, but with some “love” they came out.

[@grapehool]

Riiiight, "love" you say

[@FrancesFieser]

Great video - could you give me some tips on how to remove the tiny screw on the inside of the wheel assemblies towards the center? I’ve gotten the outside screw out, the inside screw is loose but I cannot get it out. Help

[@richardsvacuumcenter]

Not sure. Sorry!

[@AndreaP_N7]

I just fixed my Roomba with this tutorial. Thank you!

[@josemarquez86]

Thank you for the video the great tutorial fix my i7 Roomba.

[@oleunited1986]

Thanks for the tutorial, it worked! Although not as easy as shown in the video for my iRobot due to the wheels were removed for the first time and so much hair was stuck inside

[@sceefo]

Thank you. 980 worked similarly though screws were bit hard to reach.

[@AvidJeeper]

Very good tutorial. To the point. Just try to curb the umms a little bit. 😊

[@richardsvacuumcenter]

Thanks! Appreciate the feedback

[@shannonsharp5786]

This was helpful. I’m exploring your page, and maybe I just haven’t found it yet, but it would be SUPER HELPFUL to have a video showing specifically how to clean dried… perhaps dog vomit? From all of the parts. Not that this is the situation I’m in, just making a recommendation for your future videos. 😂

[@richardsvacuumcenter]

lol problem is, I usually turn those vacuums away. I just can’t handle the odor 🤮

[@shannonsharp5786]

@@richardsvacuumcenter lol, then maybe a video on how specifically (like with what?) to clean if you have dried messes? Alcohol, etc? 😁

[@timeskew979]

I wouldn't say unscrewing 50 different screws is an easy way of doing anything.

[@richardsvacuumcenter]

lol

[@marcvanloy8433]

Thank you so much, worked great!

[@TDVlogs64]

thank you for the video it helped out a lot. I wasn’t using enough strength so I said screw it let’s not be careful and just do it the way you did it and pried it aggressively.

[@EdgarVela-l8j]

How to get rid of error 26 ? Can you share some tips, ? Thanks

[@grumpy_ken]

much easier than disassembling the gearbox to remove the wheel. I have a video idea- I have a Roomba 960 and it has banged its little IR sensor eye that sits above the front impact sensor into my refrigerator door so many times that it is now wobbly and will no longer dock itself with the charger as I suppose it can no longer find it. it just pushes it around until the battery dies lol

[@SomeSayGaming]

Thanks bro!❤

[@d.l.l.6578]

Thank you. Coherent presentation. I can’t get the side brush unscrewed.

[@richardsvacuumcenter]

Are you keeping the side brush from spinning while unscrewing?

[@richardsvacuumcenter]

Try lifting up the brush while you’re unscrewing. The screw could be stripped and it’s not wanting to lift out

[@hoomanfarahvash2624]

Perfect - it works great. Thank you so much.

[@m4nt4r4y]

Thank you, that works!

[@DavidStevenson-pn4mf]

Thank you - solved my problem.. keep it up. Chz

[@west_park7993]

Roomba 614 not charging. Cleaned the contact, still not charging. green light stays lit for a min then goes out. took it apart. cleaned dust with water soap and toothbrush, plastic parts are like new. the battery is at 0 volts... The battery may need replacement......... ANOTHER question..... The cleaning box has a motor and 2 brushes. There is a 1/8 inch red sticker. Under this sticker there is a plastic "wire" or "needle", flexible, with a small ball-anchor. The anchor remains in the socket under the red sticker, and the plastic "needle" follows a channel in the pulley on the motor. The motor appears to be freely swinging in its socket along its rotor-axle. As the motor turns left-right, the pulley moves. There is a small hole at the end of the pulley channel, where the plastic "needle" appears to enter. This element does not appear to be sold separately. I think I need a replacement of this "needle" How long is this "needle"? What is the purpose? I think I can use weed-eater string or fishing line, they come at different diameters. I can improvise. Any idea?

[@richardsvacuumcenter]

Try new battery first.

[@west_park7993]

@@richardsvacuumcenter thank you. seems the battery is ok. but the question about the little string in the brush box remains. it is 1.5 inch 38 mm long, 3/128 or 0.6 mm thick and has a metal ball at one end. I found this thing because I took apart the gray and the black shells of the clean box. It seems that it lays in the groove of the pulley. i put it together, and it works, and I wonder, what is it function?

[@jennifer80516]

One wheel was spinning freely, the other wouldn't move much. I did this and both were jammed with collie fur. Got them cleaned out, but when I pressed the wheel back together neither one will move now.

[@richardsvacuumcenter]

You have to press pretty firmly in order to get the gears to align back. It takes me quite a bit of strength to press them back in. Perhaps that is your issue.

[@carlitosb1725]

I do, but after still message from roomba wheel left locked?!? I must reset something?

[@richardsvacuumcenter]

Could be something in the gears. It might be best to replace the wheel module

[@paolariveramunoz4983]

Thank you for the video !!!

[@paolariveramunoz4983]

I am afraid to broke the wheel when using the little screwdrivers...

[@richardsvacuumcenter]

That’s the first I’ve heard of the wheel breaking. Sorry to hear that. The wheel modules are somewhat inexpensive

[@marcelaahernandezv.4394]

thank so much🎉

[@katem6589]

Anyone have any tricks if you can't pry the wheel off w/ screwdrivers? I'm afraid of breaking the plastic housing. Not sure how hair can get in there, but I can't get it off. 🤔

[@richardsvacuumcenter]

That plastic has never broken on me so you can pry hard if necessary. Or not and you can just buy a whole new wheel assembly from iRobot. They sell the modules for somewhere around $30-40

[@BorisJordanov]

Same here but they did not break, surprisingly 😊 One was very hard to pull out but in the end it did.

[@jenniferheinrichs4541]

I’m having a really tough time removing one of my wheels too. I broke the tiny screwdriver off one.

[@jenniferheinrichs4541]

The wheel is very stiff now

[@michellepugh214]

Thank you

[@smjawad125]

wow, your are great
